When I was in Los Angeles earlier this month I had the opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the incredible facility and operation that is FixNation. This organization, founded by Karn Myers and Mark Dodge, offers free spay/neuter services for LA’s homeless, stray and feral cats. Since opening its doors in July 2007, FixNation has sterilized and vaccinated more than 60,000 cats, and I’m fairly certain that every single one of them received outstanding care.

During my tour, I was completely blown away at the amazing care and compassion that each cat receives at FixNation. Every step in the process — from checking the cats in, to prepping them for surgery, and throughout all the procedures and recovery — the cat’s comfort and well being is the top priority. Everything they do at FixNation is for the good of the cats. I’ve really never experienced anything like it at any other facility. They do incredible work.
